📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Refugees Welcome Portugal is looking for 2 #volunteers to participate in a national project of the European Solidarity Corps. Who we are? Refugees Welcome Portugal is part of an international movement that was born with the aim of contributing to the creation of a culture of welcome, through greater proximity between the host communities and the migrant and refugee population. In Portugal, the organization was created in 2016 and since then our focus has been to support migrants and refugees in their integration, seeking to mitigate, as far as possible, the difficulties and challenges of adaptation.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
